"Raven!" Jake shouted as he ran towards her at lunch. Raven span around with Karen and saw Jake had something in his hand.

"Here... Raven these… are… for you" he panted as he handed Raven the 'item'. It was a bunch of red flowers and some of them were kind of squashed. Raven smiled slightly muttering a thanks before her and Karen set off again, only to come face to face with Courtney.

"Hi goth friend!"

"Hi…"

Karen was looking between the two of them confused, okay more than confused.

"Rae? We need to talk, like, right now." Karen said sharply as she twisted Raven around and whispered,

"Uh… what's going on?"

"She wants me to be her friend."

"And you said yes?"

"No… she really wants to be my friend so I said yeah and she doesn't care that her best friend and I hate each other."

Karen nodded in satisfaction and the two girls turned to face Courtney to find that she wasn't there.

"Weird…" Raven muttered.

"Raven, you should just put those flowers in the flower bed or somethin' because they are almost dead!" Karen reasoned. Raven sighed but did as her friend said and then they (finally) made it to the lunch hall, where something big was about to take place…

Katherine was marching over to Richard and announcing that she wanted to sit with him and make out, but she said this quite loud so everyone heard. As other students began laughing Raven and Karen strided into the canteen and as soon as they all saw this they fell silent and some people even went 'oooh!' The two girls ignored them and sat on a table with Tara and Kori. Roy and Garfield were sitting with Richard but Victor didn't want much attention today so he sat with Tara and Kori.

"Hey guys." Karen said to her friends.

"Hi! Oh. My. God! You'll never guess what! I'm getting a puppy for my birthday!" exclaimed Tara excitedly. Raven smiled and then remarked,

"What breed? Dalmation? Spaniel? Alsatian?"

"Nope. A golden retriever!"

"Girl, I can't wait to smother that thing in hugs" Karen laughed.

The five of them went back to eating their lunch and then they suddenly heard a scream of anger, coming from Richard's table. Loads of people turned around, including the dinner ladies to see what was going on.

"RICHARD GRAYSON YOU DID NOT JUST DUMP ME!" screeched Katherine.

"I DID AND YOU CANT DO NOTHING ABOUT IT! I DON'T ACTUALLY LIKE YOU KATHERINE – DEAL WITH IT!" Richard yelled back.

"NO! YOU DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!" returned Katherine just as loudly.

"I DUMPED YOU. END OF STORY!"

"WHAT?! WHY?!"

"BECAUSE YOU ONLY WANT TO GO OUT WITH ME FOR POPULARITY AND JEALOUSY FROM OTHER PEOPLE!" explained Richard, still raisng his voice.

"SO WHAT? THAT'S NOT A GOOD ENOUGH REASON!"

"I ALSO DUMPED YOU BECAUSE I LOVE SOMEONE ELSE!"

Katherine immediately shut up, threw her lunch over Richard's head and stormed out of the cafeteria. Silence took over. Roy cleared his throat and announced to everyone,

"Nothing to see here so carry on with eating, chatting and whatever!"

Kori and Karen finished their lunch before Victor, Raven and Tara, leaving the three alone on the table. Raven was talking about the solar system and how many stars can be seen from earth, while Tara sat yawning and Victor seemed eager to learn this knowledge.

A strong smell of expensive perfume entered their nostrils and a moment later, Courtney sat down beside Raven grinning from ear to ear. Victor and Tara swapped glances before attempting to ask why she was sitting with them.

"My new friend is sitting here. Isn't that right Raven?" Courtney said.

"Uh, yeah sure."

"Ya see! Oh and Raven, Katherine wants to talk to you… in the toilets – she seemed pretty mad about something and I told her not to worry but she was angry. Anyways, should I skip lunch or should I buy a cookie?"

"Buy a meal, not a desert" Tara noted, because most of the cheerleaders didn't like to eat and that was why most of them were quite skinny. Sighing dramatically, Courtney rose from the table and waited in the lunch queue to buy some real food.

"Doesn't she ever eat?" Tara asked incredulously. Cyborg knew who Courtney was because he was on the basketball team, so he answered Tara's question.

"Only sometimes. At home she does but hardly ever in school because she wants impress Katherine and the others."

"Well, I'll be going then and – "

"Hi Raven!" Jake greeted, interrupting Raven.

"Hi. What do you want now?"

"To tell you something… Katherine wants to talk to you but maybe it might be that she's lonely now that he broke up with her so she'll probably make out with you and it would be like the hottest thing ever! Two chicks kissing in the toilets… then it would be all over the internet and I'd get paid for filming it in the first place!"

"Jake?"

"Yeah?"

"Your disgusting, sick and nasty. I know that she wants to talk to me but I bet she'll either murder me or hurt be badly for some unknown reason. Maybe it'll be just for pleasure of her sheer hatred for me and hurting me will cheer her up from just being dumped."

"True… but if you make it out alive, I'm here for you to cry on and hug and kiss and even – " Jake began.

"I forbid you to go any further than where you left off. Just hugging would be already way to far."

Raven then said goodbye to Victor, Tara and Courtney (who had just come back with a plate of Spaghetti Bolognese) and headed towards the toilets with Jake beside her. He was blabbering on about something but Raven was paying no attention. She was focused and a tad bit worried about what Katherine was going to do.

"So that's the story of – "

"Yeah whatever. I'm going into the girls toilets if you don't mind and if you need to piss then go to the boys toilets, if you think you can understand this little bit of information, ok?" Raven explained because Jake was so busy chatting that he had almost walked into the girls toilets with Raven. Jake nodded and then puzzled he said,

"If I don't go into the girls toilets when Katherine kills you, am I invited to your funeral?"

"I don't know, I'll probably make it out alive though. Somehow. I'll tell you then, if I'm dying."

"Cool" Jake said then leaned against the wall. Raven looked at him in a confused manner then asked,

"Um, what are you doing exactly?"

"Waiting for you to come back out of the toilets barely alive… what does it look like I'm doing?"

"You look like your feeling so depressed that you're thinking of ways to commit suicide. Oh and your face looks upset aswell."

"Really? Oops." Jake then replaced his frown with a huge smile, showing his teeth. Raven shook her head in disbelief and then walked through the door that would probably lead her to her doom…

Richard and Roy were speed – walking to the boys toilets, where Richard would clean himself up from being covered in food. They saw Jake waiting outside and the emo was staring at Richard coldly. Before he could say anything to him, Richard said,

"Why is Raven hanging around with you?"

"Because she loves me."

"No she doesn't!"

"Well she doesn't love you anymore. You broke her heart and went out with the one person she truly hates."

"Katherine blackmailed me! She forced me to go out with her. If I didn't she'd kill Raven."

Jake looked at him blankly, definatley not being persuaded."

"Right… whatever popular guy, she's moved on because you did."

"What?! You're lying!" Richard shouted about to hit Jake over the head but Roy held him back muttering,

"It's not worth it dude. Just leave it."

Richard stormed into the boy's toilets to clear himself up. Raven couldn't of moved on… or could she? Roy shot a look of annoyance at Jake before following Richard, slamming the door behind him. Jake grinned evilly, knowing that Richard was probably confused now; just how Jake had intended.

When Raven had entered the toilets, Katherine, Lacey and 3 other cheerleaders, excluding Courtney were standing at the end. When Raven walked in, Lacey and the other 3 girls left, glaring at Raven as they walked past. The goth girl just breathed in deeply and then strided over to Katherine. They were the only two people in the room.

"Raven…"

"Katherine…" Raven responded, her voice a bit high with fear of what Katherine planned to do.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to kill you. If I was then the others would be here."

Raven breathed a sigh of relief – quietly though, not wanting to draw attention to herself.

"So do you know why I called you here?"

"To yell at me for an unknown reason?" guessed Raven.

"No. I wanted to ask you something" Katherine answered.

"Which is what…?"

"How do you do it Raven?"

"Do what? Annoy you?"

"No. How do you get people to like you, even though you're gothic?"

"I don't know. Most people are too scared of me to like me anyway."

"That's why they're scared of you though. Because they like you, they're scared you won't like them or treat them as a friend back."

"I just be myself then."

"Raven! Before you frustrate me anymore and cause me to start biting my manicured nails, tell me how you got Richard to fall in love with you."

"Richard doesn't love me" Raven disagreed.

"He does!" Katherine argued.

"No he doesn't. And he'll probably never talk to me again because – "

"Shut up. He told me that he loved someone other than me. What I saw was when he said that he loved another girl, his eyes were directing at you. The way he looks at you makes me envious. That's why I hate you."

"Oh. Be yourself, not a bitch." Raven said simply, answering Katherine's question.

"But being bitchy makes you popular and – "

"It doesn't. It makes you popular for all the wrong reasons. Haven't you ever wondered what its like to actually be nice and be liked?"

"No…"

"Try it. I'm going now, lunch break is almost over. Be nice Katherine. Be nice" Raven said before exiting the toilets, leaving Katherine to think about all of this and how she was going to become nice…

Jake saw Raven emerge from the toilets, looking unharmed and was overjoyed. Richard and Roy were still in the toilets and hadn't come out. Jake said to Raven,

"So you've made it out alive."

"Yep."

"That calls for a celebration."

"And what did you have in mind?" Raven joked.

"This…" Jake said before crushing his lips on hers. Raven's eyes opened in shock but they closed and she relaxed, because her hormones were enjoying the kiss. Her own soul was screaming at her to push him off but physically he was too strong.

At that precise moment while they were kissing, Richard exited the boy's toilets with his red-haired friend to find the girl he truly loved kissing another guy. The guy he hated. What hurt him more was that… Raven was actually kissing back.

"You really have moved on Rae…" Richard muttered before running off down the hall. Hearing his voice, Raven suddenly found the energy in her to push Jake off her and she shouted loudly,

"Richard wait!"

"Too late Raven…" Roy told her before he too, ran off.

Jake looked pleased with himself, and Raven noticed his small smile then slapped him across the face, saying angrily,

"I don't know what you're smiling about you bastard! It's your funeral I'm planning, not Katherine's!"

Raven then walked off steadily to her homeroom, leaving a speechless Jake standing there, staring after the girl he had just made out with. Realizing what he had done was wrong he whispered so that only he could hear,

"I'm sorry."

And that's the end of the story… LOL JOKING!!! I wouldn't do that to you all especially now it's the holidays! Few more days… like 4 more! And then I can open some gifts!!!
